Been on a movie binge lately...
Max Payne, why the hell did I just watch this. If they cut the crap of what people see while being high the film would be decent enough, but it just made the film confusing and terrible because there's no point to what the hell that means when they're on drugs.
Good thing Hancock followed. Enjoyable and not because it was preceded by a crappy film.
The Hangover, I didn't get why people are praising this like crazy for being really funny. It has laugh out parts but not the entirety of the movie itself, which I expect considering the praises the movie received.
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. Eh, decent because of the robot fighting. Since when did Optimus become a combination of John McClane (Die Hard) and John Rambo? They followed the Baywatch formula for Megan Fox while running. Jetfire was pretty enjoyable.
Terminator Salvation, it's an action flick for all it's worth despite having Bale in it, but the action falls flat with the exception of the robot fighting. Robots rule.
Ice Age 3 Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Might as well watch it since I saw the first two. Not bad but not Up good either.
Taken. Just had to see it again for the kickassery.
I Love You, Man. Not bad and I'll place it alongside the overhyped The Hangover.
Hachiko - A Dog's Story. Premise is the dog's loyalty to his master, based on a true story. It's intended to be a tearjerker of a film. Great movie especially if you're a (former) dog owner. I think even Michael Vick would feel something after he watched this.
Sherlock Holmes, early in the film I thought it would be like Batman set in the 19th century because of the action and Holmes skills but I realized it's basically a buddy cop movie. Still excellent. I like how Downey portrayed Holmes as a bit of obsessive-compulsive that made the character great with his observations. I wonder if Downey thought of that idea or it was dictated by the script. Great watch.
I still have to watch Ravenous next, and about 53 more movies or an estimated 80 hours, damn that's a massive backlog. After I finish all those I might be going through this thread to see any more movies that I may have missed.
